You will also see that promoters of rRNA and tRNA genes are different from mRNA genes. Furthermore, we also discuss how steady-state RNA distribution within a cell contrasts that of the RNA polymerases. And towards the end, we highlight a few regulatory processes in the RNA production in eukaryotes.

    Minor correction: Eukaryotic RNA polymerases have ~12 subunits (in the video at around 11:20 I wrongfully said that it is ~26). I confused 26 from the fact that it is the number of YSPTSPS repeats in yeast CTD (humans have 52 repeats, yeast have 26). Additional fact: Plants also have RNA polymerase V that is involved in a similar non-essential function as RNA polymerase IV. To read more about them, check out www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4618083/

    It must be that mRNA produced must be in 3 to 5 direction, complementary to DNA template strand

  • @lovelettering2167
    @lovelettering21673 жыл бұрын

    Sir,I have a question : the RNA polymerase works in 5 to 3 direction of DNA template, then y does it produce mRNA in the 5 to 3direction???

  • @theCrux

    @theCrux

    RNA polymerase moves from 3' of the template to the 5' - the resulting RNA has 5' end coming out first (so the RNA is 5' > 3'). The chemistry of synthesis is such that you can only synthesize nucleic acids in 5' > 3' direction. The enzyme on the other hand may move in either direction.

    Hi, thanks for the super-useful video! A small doubt: Why rRNA is most abundant in the cell compared to mRNA and tRNA? Can we tell because most mRNA gets converted to proteins and is unstable when not bound to ribosomes. But rRNA are stable as they are bound to ribosomes?

    Ribosomes are in excess of mRNAs. mRNAs tend to be reused to make proteins - same mRNA can be used for translation for as long as it is around in the cytoplasm, so you don't have a lot of them to begin with. Typically you have around 100k - 300k mRNAs per cell vs millions of rRNA because you have way too many ribosomes. The excess of ribosomes means translation is immediate.
